6 Feelings Of Meeting Your Significant Other's Family For The First Time
Kevin Curtis

It is the first big step and such an exciting time when you get to meet your significant other's family. Not just their mom, dad, and siblings, but their entire extended family! You know it's getting serious when you need Nana. But there are many feelings that come with meeting all these new family members...

1. I hope they like me

You've picked out your outfit days in advance, practice your 30 second speech on academic and career goals, and study as much as you can about their family...but you still are anxious they won't like you.

2. What is their name again?

You met 2 sets of grandparents, 7 aunts and uncles, and 18 cousins when you walked in the door... How the hell were you supposed to remember everyone's name?

3. Yes please keep showing me pictures of my girlfriend in diapers!

You get to see adorable baby pictures of your significant other!

4. *internally strains every time I almost curse*

You've almost said 'damn' three times and 'shit' about eight. Each time you cover it up but you know your slip up is coming.

5. Oh, I'm not the first girl they've brought home...

When you find out the hard way you're not that special and they've met a girlfriend before.

6. When the pie is not as good as your grandma's...

You have to stay silent while eating a subpar piece of apple pie.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
